Chapter 630 Weapons Smuggling
Now, at $120 a barrel, it is profitable. When industrialized large-scale production reduces the cost, it will be even more profitable! Therefore, biodiesel is only one aspect. Large-scale mining and processing of shale oil is the ultimate solution!
The United States is the most technologically advanced country in the world, and there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved with technology! With the strategic situation in the Middle East shaky at any time, the United States must have a new solution!
"A few days ago, the devil Andre was attacked by a suicide bombing by local people. Have you found the organization behind this attack?" Reagan continued to ask.
When the frontal battlefield cannot solve the problem, the tricks behind the scenes become more important. Many things are better done by local people!
For example, now, in order to resist the Soviet occupation, some patriotic young people have begun to take the road of resistance! They are willing to sacrifice their lives to attack the Soviet army! This kind of behavior is really pleasing to the eye, and the United States must support it! Whether it is weapons, ammunition, or funds, the United States must allow such organizations to grow and develop!
Hearing Reagan's question, CIA Director William Casey had an intriguing expression on his face: "We have found the mastermind behind this organization. He is indeed a patriotic Saudi youth. His name is Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Zayed. He was originally the wealthy son of a large construction businessman in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. He was dissatisfied with the Soviet invasion and resolutely embarked on the road of resistance."
"**** family?" Reagan knew something about Saudi Arabia. He knew that this was also a big family in Saudi Arabia and had a very friendly relationship with the Saudi royal family. Reagan's face was full of excitement: "Then we can support them, such as providing them with some weapons free of charge, so that they can better fight the Soviets."
William shook his head: "Our people had contact with them once, but..."
"But what?" Reagan asked.
"A few days later, we received the messenger's head, which had been chopped off with a knife," said William, with an angry look on his face.
"What's going on?" Reagan was also stunned.
"I don't know. People who have lost their heads won't talk. However, we did investigate. Just a few months ago, before the Iraqi army was about to invade Saudi Arabia, Osama wrote a letter to Saudi King Khalid." William said, "In the letter, Osama strongly opposed our troops entering Saudi Arabia, believing that our presence was a blasphemy against their true God. Our support for Israel on the Israeli issue has led to decades of war in the Middle East. He believes that our presence is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. At that time, the Saudi king did not listen to Osama's advice, which led to the young Osama leaving Riyadh and his family. No one has ever found his whereabouts since then."
Reagan understood that this guy named Osama was actually a madman. The principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend did not apply to this guy. Originally, Iraq and the Soviet Union behind Iraq were Saudi Arabia's enemies, and the United States was Saudi Arabia's ally. Unfortunately, this guy did not agree. He neither welcomed the Soviets nor the Americans. He was even more hostile to the United States! Otherwise, he would never have killed the American envoy!
Savage guy!
…………
"A-choo!" In a cave, a young man in his twenties suddenly sneezed. At this time, he had grown a beard, was wearing Saudi national costume and a turban, and his eyes had always been extremely sharp.
"Osama, are you sick?" a young man next to him said when he heard him sneeze.
They used to live a good life in the big city, with servants, villas, swimming pools, and countless women, but now? For their ideals, they have to come to the mountains and live a life like savages.
Tuwaiq Mountain is a mountainous area in the south of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. It has a maximum altitude of more than 1,000 meters. The terrain here is complex and easy to move forward and backward. After many twists and turns, Osama chose this place as the activity area for his organization. In a country full of deserts, it is really not easy to find a mountainous area. Although it is far away from the Soviet base, it is his most suitable choice.
Otherwise, staying in the desert, the scorching sun and the lack of fresh water would cause their organization to disappear.
"No, in order to drive away the invaders, the true God will bless us and bless every member of our Islamic militant organization." Osama said.
This is the organization he founded. Although there are only more than 20 people so far, Osama believes that more and more people will join his organization, and they will eventually drive away the Soviet invaders, the American invaders, and the Iraqi invaders! This sacred land belongs to Saudi Arabia!
As for what Saudi Arabia should do after driving out these invaders, Osama has never really thought about it. Perhaps it will take a long time.
"Osama, Atwan is back." Just then, a man came in and said.
Atwan! Osama left the cave very happily and walked outside. The bright sunlight shone into his eyes. He saw the man on the motorcycle. The off-road motorcycle raised dust on the hillside and soon came to Osama.
“How are things going, Atwan?” Osama asked.
After setting up his motorcycle, Atwan said, "It's going well. We have already contacted the Fatah Revolutionary Committee. Through their channels, we can import a batch of weapons."
Import weapons! For Osama, weapons are necessary to make his organization stronger! Before this, Osama was just a rich second-generation, and it was impossible for him to get access to smuggled weapons! Therefore, his inevitable choice was to find other ways. For example, the Fatah organization has a special channel for smuggling weapons!
A few days ago, the Americans came and promised to provide weapons, but Osama refused. Moreover, because the other party insulted the true God, Osama unceremoniously had someone chop off the guy's head with a knife! Osama was confident that he could organize his own forces without relying on the Americans!
"When will the transaction take place?" Osama said, "We have already prepared the funds."
"In two days, the Nefud Desert, they will bring the weapons there through the Jordanian border."
"Okay, let's go together!" said Osama.
